Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I haven't. Honestly, I literally just saw this, so I
haven't had a chance.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Are they like?

Speaker 1 (00:05):
I don't know if they're applying this contributed to what
he did. But Luigi Mangioni got beaten up by seven
lady boys in Thailand months before CEO shooting. Ok, okay,
I you know, we'll look absolutely, let's go with this.

(00:27):
Mangioni was roughed up by a group of transgender women
during a wild night out in Thailand in the month
prior to gunning down the CEO. Brian Thompson. The twenty
seven year old accused assassin, allegedly bragged to friends over

(00:48):
WhatsApp about the raucous nightlife through Asia. Wait, now here's
the deal. Do you tell your boys you got beat
up by a bunch of lady boys in Thailand?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
You brag about that?

Speaker 1 (01:06):
I'm confused. I guess maybe you say it was seven,
but maybe it was only two, so you can save
a little fire. Who knows. Uh, let's see here. Man
Jenny claimed he'd been beaten up by seven lady boys

(01:28):
a colloquial term for transgender women in Bangkok, and shared
a photo of his battered and scratched arm. Yeah, I
think you probably keep that to yourself, bro, but whatever,
I clearly this guy's not making good decisions. Yeah, that's
not Rozie. Ever been beat up by a gaggle of

(01:49):
lady boys.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
I haven't. I mean, I don't know the situation. Situation
was he just like walking down like a you know,
like a back alley and like highland and suddenly heard
a pan flute and then the lady boys jumped out
and like just end upon and it cost him for
no reason. Oh, I'm sure there was a reason. Let's
see here.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Now he doesn't, I mean, he doesn't seem to give one.
I'm just looking at the rest of the text here. Well, okay,
so now now there's the other side of this one.
I don't know why you text your boys about this two.
I don't know why you don't give him the details
because they have the WhatsApp messages. Because look, Ross, if

(02:28):
I text you and I'm like, dude, you're not gonna
believe what happened to me last night. I got beaten
up by a seven lady boys. Where are you gonna
want to know more? A little even if you kind
of don't, because now the seals off right and what
really depends on what time the text comes in.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
If it comes in at like ten o'clock, I'm probably
gonna ignore it and be like that dude is hammered
or something, and I'll see how he is in the morning,
and if the conversation.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
No, no, I eventually you're gonna want.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, well you're still bringing up the next day because
he might wake up the next morning like, oh, I
can't believe I sent that. That actually never happened. I
just man, I was really wasted.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Lady boys, I said, I slipped my shower. Honestly, product
awful right now, I would just point that out. So
it is if you.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Get a text, yeah, yeah, there's a bug in the
iOS operation. I saw this, dude. I am so I
saw this, and it gave me so much relief. Yeah,
because you've been typing and you're like, I didn't type that.
I know, I didn't type that, and my thumbs are fat,
but I didn't type that. And apparently it's just like
a thing where if you type a letter, it'll actually
there's a bug where it puts in different letters.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
It puts in different letters, or it can load different words.
Even from what you it gives you the options and
you put you press one and then it loads something different.
I was this is one of those things where I
was swearing that there was like a conspiracy, because there
was no way the iOS, you know, for your iPhone,

(03:55):
there was no way. I was being that bad grammatically,
and I'm bad grammatically, but like there was, and so yes,
so there is an app. There is a glitch in
the current iOS operating system where if you push one letter,
it may insert another, and depending on when you click

(04:17):
on the suggested things, it may select something else entirely.
And I've seen but I've seen like crazy words inserted
where you where I've even typed the correct word and
then it just does something else. I was, type of
the word it's yesterday, I t apostrophe s. This is
so simple. And I went to change the capitalization because

(04:38):
for some reason, when you're doing the voice voice to text,
it puts periods everywhere where you're clearly not stopping. Again,
I speak for a living I should have the least
amount of problems that being said. It then changed it
to the word will. There's only one letter that's the

(05:01):
same in that word four letter word or four character word.
I should say so I don't know the extent of it,
but it made me feel a lot better. So anyway,
back to the lady boys thing, Yeah, you gotta know
more eventually.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
I would, but like I said, I am considerate. So
if it came in late, i'd be I'm going to
give him some time. If you're still there in the
morning yapping about it, I might be like, all right,
tell me more. All right, yeah, just you know, because
there's you're gonna wake up in the morning and be like,
I can't believe I sent that. Yeah, I shouldn't have
said that. Be like, well, and I'm one of these
people where like we can both pretend it never happened

(05:34):
and I'll never bring it up, right right, Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, yeah. So so that's what he texted his boys,
but there's not a follow up on why that may
have been.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
And that's why he decided to shoot the guy.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
No, that's the thing I'm reading the story. I'm like,
is this supposed to be a right did one of
them while they're beating them go I love healthcare? Right?
Or he's like, ah, gotta do something I don't know,
or it's just New York Posts, you know, New York
Post to be a little tabloidy, which I actually kind
of like because New York Times is such sticking the butt.

(06:10):
So let's see here. Yeah, there's I again. I'm just
reading this. I saw this right for the show, so
I'm just kind of reading it in real time. Here. Yeah,
we have no lady boy motive or or what's going
on there, and.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
You're just a young, very capitalist on vacation in Thailand.
Jump jump by the lady boys. Suddenly you're coming. You
want United you know, care, Healthcare CEO dead.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
I you know. Here's the thing too. I would love
I would actually love to go to Thailand. There's there's
they have a couple of really cool islands. But then
you have to tell people you're going to Thailand, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
I just tell them you're going to go do some
stick fighting or something.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
But like in the beginning of Rainbow two, I understand,
I understand, but like, no, no, no, it's got a little.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Bit of a rep that's Rainbow three. That's Rainbow three.
I'm stick fighting in the beginning.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Speaking speaking of the movies of our childhood, what did
you think of that thing, the Predator thing? I said,
complete garbage. What do we what are we doing? I'll
bring it if you guys. I saw something like right
after the show yesday. I sent it to Ross. I
was so offended by this. So you think I should
go the stick fighting route and then it'll be fine. Yeah,

(07:22):
I don't know, but here's the deal. I would assume
if I had to guess he was in Thailand, because here,
here's here's what I'll tell you. When I did go
to the Philippines years and years and years ago because
my cousin was stationed in Guam and I want to
go over anyway, and he can gets to leave and
then blah blah blah, and here we go, and uh,

(07:44):
I just remember it being probably the hottest place I've
ever spent the time, continuation of stuff. And I didn't
go to Manila or anything. We went to a place
called Sebu City, which is it's another huge city down
the south and you go out and they have like
a bar district there, and you gotta we weren't there too.

(08:07):
We weren't there to find wives or really interact or
whatever with that. But we went out to the bar
and it's really there's some it's really hard to tell
would be the best way to describe. It's hard to
tell on the quote unquote lady boys there because he
he's got he's got a friend who actually lives there.

(08:30):
He was giving us the four to one one. So
what happens is people think they're meeting a lady but
they're not. And then perhaps that's where the altercation brought.
I don't know. I don't know. But it then turns

(08:51):
into a game when you're in like the the where
all the bars are there in Sebu City, it's like
this big circle, big roundabout because everybody loves frigging around
about where you're just like you're trying to guess that
turns into a little bit of a game. But it's
but culturally it's a thing there, and I understand I've
never been to Thailand, but I understand that it is there,

(09:12):
So you know, maybe he wasn't hip to that, and
and and then you know, and then he is surprised,
you know, and then flip that I don't know, I
don't know. There is there is definitely details missing from
this story, is what I would say. So with that
in mind, I saw it, so I couldn't none see it.

(09:35):
So you get told about it. Yay, all right, let
me give you the rundown. We'll do it next. Six sixteen,
hang On man arrested after driving his car to the
security gate at the White House. This happened overnight. A
man taking into custody after driving his car into a
security or barrier looks like the so uh Visually to

(09:55):
describe it, it's, you know, it's where you it's one
of the entrances, because there's there's more than one, but
it's where you were driving to the White House. They
have the little guards booth and then they have lanes
on either side, so just like you'd enter a housing
development and private neighborhood and something like that. I visualize that.
And for whatever reason, dude drove right in right at

(10:18):
the guard booth, so he's not even in one of
the the you know going in or going out lanes.
You know, here's the thing. So there's there's They have
not released a lot of details on this, and they're
not even hyping up that he might have been ross.
This might just be some drunk driver, which is actually

(10:39):
if you think about it, it's just crazy, right, Like,
don't drink and drive, but if you do, and you
want to like, he probably thought he was turning on
a street, you know what I'm saying. And now they
think you were trying to kill the president. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
I mean if you've never been there before, it can
be very confusing.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah. Yeah, you ask like we'd weird town to drive around.
But you know it's middle of the nine eight he's
you know, nine beers in and so instead of just
getting a standard run of the mill d U, I
encounter and you know, getting hauled off to the poke
and then having to deal with that. Now they're like,
were you trying to kill the president? He's like, no,
I'm just a raging alcoholic.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Right, He's in some pit somewhere, some CIA black side.
I just have a drinking problem.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah, why why want Tatabo? Why is it so hot here?

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (11:25):
I'm just going to search the car. So, yeah, he
didn't have he had nothing in the car. Dude, this
is this is the guy who who got the worst
d UI ever. Maybe that's nuts, man, Like you're gonna
get Yeah, you probably get on like the no fly list.
I'm not kidding, man, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
It could be worse, Like maybe if you crashed into
like the Lincoln memorial or something, because then not only
are you a terrorist, but you're a horrible racist.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Right. Oh that's a good point. Yeah. No, I I
think if you remove who the president is.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
White house is worse. White House is worse.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
But you're right. And then like the one thing that
you said when you were fourteen in high school because
you liked a rap song, right, they find that tweet
retweeted a lyric and they're like, see when he was fourteen,
he the jay Z lyric here.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
No, this is really big in a Wu Tang clan.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Man.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah. Oh he drove me to the Lincoln Memorial. Yeah
man yeah, man was immediately arrested, didn't put the fight. Yeah,
this is some guy who was just coming home from
the bar. Maybe, I don't know. I don't know that
this is just me speculating based on because normally when

(12:43):
they have a story like this, there's gonna be something
right little, even if there's not a lot of details
to be like, oh, it's what he said to the
officer or we found an arsenal in the car or anything. No,
this is perfect going home from the bar. Really really
really you think you're turning on you know whatever? And uh, now,
you can't fly, so but I will say this, if

(13:09):
you need to turn your life for around moment, right,
that's a pretty good one. Nobody got hurt, thankfully, they
think your potential assassin for the next ten years probably
monitor your phone calls. But you know, take the opportunity.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
You're probably gonna have the best story at the AA meeting,
is it? Would you rather do this or get beaten
up by seven lady boys? Right?

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Which rights you know have been amazing. Is right after
he crashed in out of the guard booth, emerge seven
lady boys.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Right, hear pint the crap out of them? You hear
the pan flute? There there never drinking again?

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah? Oh that I think. Then I would tell my boys,
you know what I'm saying, because now there's the White
House involved? And why are there seven lady boys in
the guard booth at the White House beating people up?
Why is there a pan flute? What's happening? Authorities did
not immediately provide any additional information about the crash, the
driver's identity, or any potential motivation. Well, now here's my

(14:07):
other question. Since they're not providing any of that, is
it somebody who might have should have supposed to have
been there. Is it some staffer from the White House?
I mean, how many how many people are on site
at the White House that overnight? Forty fifty between Secret
Service and all that the cooks like, so yeah, that'd

(14:29):
be interesting. But yeah, just the general lack of information,
I don't, I don't it makes me think that this
was not some sort of attempt, if you know what
I mean, or if it was, it was really bad one.
Even when the crazy people smash gates immediately they're like, yeah,
we think they're crazy because that's you know, it's a
thing that's happened. Acoda Radio program. Yeah, she's she's she

(14:52):
could be a prime minister for a while. I don't
know if they have term limits over in Japan. So
Ross finally saw the new Japanese Prime minister, who is
a Margaret Thatcher super fan and a speed metal bassist,
so heavy metal base.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
When you mentioned her yesterday at the end of the show, Yeah,
I imagine like it might had like some older Japanese woman.
She's like super young.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, and she's just super she's super young, super concerned.
I saw a part of her speech translated yesterday, and
she's just like this is Japan. We're gonna we're gonna
make sure it's always Japan. We're not going to uh,
we're not gonna do this this migrant thing because we
did a little and uh, it's it's not working out

(15:37):
because it's Japan, and we're gonna keep it Japan.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
How do you like that?

Speaker 1 (15:40):
And then yeah, that was that was essentially it. And yeah, man,
and then I don't know, Uh, maybe she went and
played a session or something. I don't know, but she
not screwed with anybody. Man, But it might be quite
entertaining to watch, So we shall see. All right, well
let's see here, dude, do do oh uh, yeah, I'm

(16:06):
gonna say I get into the one story here in
just a little bit. Let's go and get a little
audio from yesterday. By the way, I was listening in
the news there. Obnoxious. So the Trump met with some
Republicans at the White House yesterday. They had like a lunch.
I saw some of them tweeting out photos and so

(16:29):
he meets meets with them, and they're like, all right,
we're still doing this. Let's you know, just continuing resolution.
We've either the hell the House has already voted for
us is very simple and uh, but you guys, you
guys gonna get on board. And the Democratic response was
the only person that can reopen the government is Trump.
Trump doesn't have a vote. Do I have to come
and explain this to you. He has influence, I understand,

(16:52):
but he doesn't have a vote. He's the only one
in this stupid equation who has no afici, She'll say,
And yet we're keeping the games going. Ross do you
do you abide by the theory that this whole thing
is predicated on the fact that they're terrified of their
lunatic base, because that seems to be what the you know,

(17:15):
the conservative pundits are pushing.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
I mean, we saw the same sort of thing in
the past election, right where a little bit making these
decisions based on this crazy looney tuns portion of the party,
or at least she didn't pick Shapiro out of Pennsylvania
for her VP because he's Jewish and that would upset
the pro Palestine people.

Speaker 5 (17:31):
M h.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, So I give credence to that.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that probably probably is the case.
And if that is the case, because you're gonna have eventually,
you're gonna have to compromise. Trump has no incentive. This
is again, this is the thing. He has no incentive,
and he will do as little things come up, he'll
do those, even though you know moving Some people are like, ah, yeah,

(17:57):
we should move specifically alec moneies within the military round
of pay members of the military. Yeah, I agree with that.
But he's going to do it, or he has done it,
and he'll probably do it again to the extent he can,
and nobody will stop him because the very same process
that you guys are using the hamstring him the A

(18:21):
is a drawn out process that you're not going to
be able to use to bash him with on this issue.
You can go find some you go get some crazy
court ruling like that idiot judge and Chicago, but as
you see, the appeals court will just throw it out
in a few days. So you don't have that leverage.

(18:43):
We talked about that yesterday. He's not a fan of
the bloated bureaucracy, so you don't have that leverage. Most
government employees, especially their unions, hate this guy and voted
ninety nine percent against him. No leverage. American public for
the most part, which really shut every day that goes

(19:05):
by shows you how big of a scumbag Obama was
during that shutdown. Every single day shows you that they
sat in a room to come up with things to
make your life harder so that you could see this,
and which actually makes sense if you're a big government
lover like they are. They're like, we they're the worst

(19:27):
thing that could happen to us is the public doesn't
notice we're closed, and they're like, you know what, you're right,
So let's put up barricades around rocks. Let's close portions
of the Blue Ridge Parkway for a discernible reason. Let's
do this. Let's make their life harder. Every day that
goes by during this shutdown, which doesn't impact most Americans.

(19:49):
Trump doesn't have an incentive to do anything again, even
though he doesn't have a vote. This is where like
there's no I don't see I don't even see the
what the the Democrats think the win is going to be.
That's the crazy part. So if it's not the win,

(20:11):
then it has to be the potential loss. And the
theory that they'll get savaged by the uh the lunatic
arm of their base is I think a pretty good theory.
So uh So, anyway that that that bugged me on
the news. That being said the the GOP. Yes, they

(20:32):
did try to get a separate uh fix it for
pay essentially a reallocation for pay. Uh not just for
the military, but uh for you know, air traffic and
a few other things. And let's well, let's see what
the Democrats think.

Speaker 6 (20:49):
It's my understanding that that is not a comprehensive bill
that actually is designed to reopen the government.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Again. This is this is what it's being of scumbags.
This is what it's come back. He is because he
is in the House, and the House has already passed
a comprehensive bill, meaning you know, the totality of it
to get it to reopen. They've passed it. This is
because his buddies in the Senate don't want to do
the things, so they're trying to do a side thing
here while at.

Speaker 6 (21:17):
The same time addressing the issues that need to be
confronted on behalf of the American people, which include lowering
the high cost of living and decisively addressing the Republican
healthcare crisis. So it's not legislation.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Oh, this is new language. By the way, the Republican
healthcare crisis. I've heard this three times. This is clearly
what their consultants have told them to use. Expect it
to be a thing.

Speaker 6 (21:41):
That I support because it appears to be more like
a political ploy to pick and choose, giving Donald Trump
discretion which employees should be compensated and which employees should
not be compensated. All employees should be compensated, and that

(22:03):
will happen when we reopen the government.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Do do do do do? Where was I?

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yes, I was talking about how Keem, Jeffries and all
these people are absolutely crazy. So we already knew that
because you listen to this show and you're you're in
the know. Uh oh, you know I mentioned that judge
in Chicago. Let me expand upon this. I don't know
if you guys saw this ruling the Unfortunately, the term
constitutional crisis gets thrown around way too much as it

(22:33):
retains to Trump, and then some people go, we last
because he keeps doing the stuff. Shut up. No, it's
because it's a talking point and everything when everything's a
constitutional crisis, nothing's a constitutional crisis. Constitutional crisis is I'll
give you there is one in Chicago right now, and
it's very simple to understand why it meets the threshold.

(22:56):
And that is the judge in Chicago who's said that
ICE agents who attempt to arrest illegal immigrants at a
courthouse can themselves be arrested. That's that that's a constitutional
crisis because the ICE agents one, that's not true. I'm sorry,

(23:19):
you can you know, you can talk about within the courtroom.
And then even then I don't know whether they can
or not, but you absolutely know this judge knows that
if they want to sit there and and and grab
people who have active orders of removal, which is who
they're grabbing a courthouses, they're not just randomly there. They

(23:41):
have a list, right, And if they want to grab
people that you know that have an active order for removal,
and they know they're going to be in court, they're
gonna show up, They're gonna wait. And as you saw
in Wisconsin where that judge had to try to sneak
people out, they were willing to wait. That's not a problem.
And they're not even in the courtroom per se. They're

(24:03):
standing around out there. Just to make sure. The problem
starts when a group of armed ICE agents go to
do this thing that they are legally allowed to do
and tasked with doing and another law enforcement entity attempts
to disarm them, take them into custody, and then ICE

(24:24):
is like, now you're now you're assaulting federal officers or
you're impeding our ability. We're taking you into custody. You
understand how crazy that situation could be. Who's in the
right there? I don't think this judge is in the right.
But now you've now you've and also now you've got

(24:46):
law enforcement officers. Now I don't know. I I well,
I shouldn't say I don't think that. I think most
police officers in Chicago, yes, even in Chicago police, they
don't want to they don't want to touch this third rate.
They want to go in there and have to try
to arrest ICE agents. Everybody's armed, everybody's got some training.

(25:07):
Everybody thinks they have jurisdiction and is right. But that
is that is the situation that this judge is setting up.
This should be something that is removable, meaning he should
be kicked off the bench, go through the process. He's
a federal judge, by the way, so it is in
the federal jurisdiction. That's how they would have to purge him,

(25:30):
because he has now created a scenario which could get
really deadly if cooler heads don't prevail or everybody thinks
they're in the right because the now you're now you
have this, you know, you have this escalation of force thing,
and both sides feel that they're able to escalate force. Oh,

(25:52):
the one officers put his hands on me, I'm gonna
get less than lethal. Well, now I'm going to taze
the ice agent and then the chicaguall, I'm gonna pull
out my gun. You hope it doesn't come to that.
But that's the situation that this judge has essentially set,
is a legal situation that is what a constitutional crisis

(26:12):
looks like. It's really it's really bad, man, really really bad.
And it's probably and I suspect I suspect that I
would hope that the different agencies, both at the federal
and the local level, that probably discussed how one of

(26:34):
the situation arises, what the process is. But this judge
has created this whole thing just because he's a partisan
hack the supremacy clause. It must be something he's never
heard of. Screw this judge, impeach him, get him out
of office. He's trying to get people he's trying to
get people killed. And you say, well, I don't think

(26:58):
he wants that. No, what he wants is a confrontation
because the way he feels about whatever, you know, Trump
or whatever, and he's a federal judge, that's the word,
and it's very it's so easy to see. So to

(27:20):
pretend like I had never crossed his mind. Please, that's
the first thing I thought of. And this guy works
in this, I like, how how would you even handle that?
As let's say you're a sheriff. I don't know if
sheriffs do all the courtroom stuff there, but you know
a lot of states do it. Uh, well, this is
a federal courthouse. But let's say you're in a county

(27:42):
courthouse and you have sheriffs around, Because this guy's ruling
isn't just a federal courthouse, it's courthouses. So if you're
a sheriff's deputy and there's ice officers there and you
have you here, this judge is ruling, you're gonna try
to take him into custody for doing that? How do
you think that's gonna work out for you? Is a

(28:03):
shriff deputy in that scenario doesn't want to do this
either that's an incredibly dangerous situation. And but you know,
this piece of garbage judge doesn't care because he's got
political points to make and he doesn't like Trump, or
he doesn't like this or or whatever. Maybe he's just
got the egos some of these judges do, and you know,

(28:26):
the audacity to come into my courthouse and do this
for all those reasons, and probably a bunch that I
haven't thought of. Uh, this guy has no business near
near a near a courthouse or making decisions that impact
anybody's lives because he's so callous and reckless in the

(28:47):
decisions that he's already made. Hell no, I guess would
be my response. All right, So that's what I mean
by that. I uh, i uh, I just started. I
was watching a video. James O'Keeffe has a new video out,

(29:08):
and I'll tell you what it's about. It's about something
that's serious, and I'm glad it sounds like already the
Trump administration is looking into this, as they should. And
it's just one of the many ways in which people
manipulate and steal from the government and and for the
most part in the past, get away with it. And
the the blatant, you know, the blatant nature in which

(29:32):
they do it, Like you remember what they call the
COVID funds, Right, And then they rested a guy here
in North Carolina because he created a bunch of fake
company's all named after characters from Game of Thrones, right,
like just the Stones to do something like that. So
James O'Keeffe is uncovering this thing where people take advantage

(29:53):
of these woke policies, right, and then they're like, all right,
if you if it's a minority owned business, you don't
even have to go through a bid proce. You get priority.
So some guy, some quote unquote white guy will go
with right, who doesn't meet somebody who doesn't meet the qualifications,
starts a business, brings on a partner at fifty one
percent who does meet those requirements, can be Native American, black, Latino, whatever,

(30:17):
you know, whatever. The window is there, and then they
just go and they get all these contracts, no bid
so they can juice the numbers, and then they just
go out and they bid the job to a subcontractor
and then rake you know, five ten percent over the
top of it and they don't even't do anything. And
then he goes, he sets up another one, and another

(30:37):
one and another one. That's what they're doing, and so
O'Keefe is undercover to do this. The problem hiss and
we'll play the audio for you. He looks like he's
wearing the worst and snl skitch wardrobe wig jacket you
have ever seen in your life. It is so comically

(30:59):
bad that I thought the video was a joke when
I first saw it. I thought it was like he's
putting out a parody of himself. Correct, I thought it
was a parody. The I can't even describe how bad
the whole ensemble looks, how fake the hair looks. You

(31:21):
guys do the pump rolls? You guys do a pumpkin
patch thing, the whole thing, or you just go buy
some pumpkins or grow some pumpkins.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
We haven't done the pumpkin patch in a while.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
But do you get something and carve them at the
house or put any on.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
The We kind of say we're going to and then
we always pick one up at like the supermarket, and
then we just put on the porch like we've tended
not to do anything.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Is this I'm so disconnected here? You guys have nine
Christmas trees or whatever. Did you By the way, you
haven't a new wing, so you got another one, I'm assuming.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah, that's one of the things like we were looking at,
like where can we put the Christmas tree in the
new room?

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah, so you have you go like you do Christmas
on steroids? Okay, yeah, and then for and then for Halloween,
You're like, ah, we might accidentally buy a pumpkin.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Well yeah, I mean personally I would put Jesus into
ahead of Halloween.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
So yeah, I understand, I understand.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yes, ahead of the Great Pumpkin.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
You know exactly what I was saying.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
No, I mean, but that's my answer.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, but clearly, And I don't know
if it's you or your wife or the both of you.
You guys, you know, you guys like to you guys
like to decorate.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
For so much going on this year with the addition
and the pregnancy, and we didn't even put we haven't
even put out the Halloween inflatables because we do have
the Bucky ones we typically put out, and they want
to Mansion one. But when it comes to the pumpkin,
Lincoln doesn't really like it because he doesn't like the
feeling of the seeds and stuff like on his hands
when you're like, yeah, like he's not a fan and
he doesn't like, you know, even carving it. So it's

(32:50):
sort of like this year and we're not even going
trigger treating this year. That's the first year Lincoln said
out of nowhere. Uh, he's like, no trigger treat this year.
All done. We're We're like why, Like what happened? He's
like all done? So I guess he just feels like
he's aged out of the trick or treating, but he's
super excited to help his little brother next year.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, he's gonna say right back into it. So well
maybe not.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
And Marky was all like, yeah, we're gonna still do
the trick or treat thing this year at Main Street
downtown wake Forest. And I'm like, you're gonna be like
two weeks away from having the baby. Are you sure
you want to walk around for that length of time?
I And she was really considering it, and she just
said yesterday, She's like, you know, I'm glad we're not
doing it because I don't think I could do it.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Well when does when does he does?
When does he kick into Christmas lights mode because that's
his thing, right, That's.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Been a thing, like we're still doing after school because
there's a house downtown wake Forest. There's the block it's
like lights on Theater, it's called it's like the whole block,
and they start setting up their lights probably the beginning
of October, and they've started doing that, so after school
we drive around that. So the Chris Miss lights is
definitely still gonna be a thing.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
I gotcha, I got you, gotcha. Okay. I bring all
of this up because you know, there's lots of different
things you can, you know, little options that exist out there,
all right. So so yesterday I saw this and this
is This is in Greensboro, and it's called Pumpkins after

(34:25):
Dark Greensboro. Now they have responded to this, and but
I just want to, uh, well, I'm just gonna run
it by you because it's you're gonna have to make
a judgment call how you interpret this story. I can't
tell you what it is for sure, but I can
tell you what it looks like to me, and then
you can figure it out from there. So Pumpkins after

(34:47):
Dark Greensboro, it's they've got pumpkins sculptures they got. You know,
it sounds like it's really well done, interactive like Haunted
House experience. They give these glasses to these kids. They're
three D. They're described as three D glasses, but basically

(35:07):
they there's something through the lens that allows you to
quote unquote see monsters. I'm not sure the trick that
they utilize to do that, but you know, there's a
lot of possibilities. But you know, it's one of those
things where you know, people buy tickets, bring the kids over,
have a lot of fun, a little spooky experience, and
you know, good good, those are fun. The problem is this,

(35:32):
so somebody posted a picture of the glasses that they provide,
and there's writing on the glasses and it says monsters
are real. Okay, your parents lied when they said they
weren't real. Wearing these glasses allows you to see the
monsters that otherwise would be camouflaged and blend in with

(35:54):
everyday humans. Sorry for out This is in parentheses. Sorry
for outing you Donald. How do you interpret that ross?
Had you interpret what I just said there, what do
you think their reference if you had to guess, and
based on exactly it's the president right where the model

(36:16):
allows you to see monsters that otherwise would be camouflage
and blend in with everyday humans. Sorry for outing you, Donald.
So somebody saw that, they came to the same like, uh,
obviously the referencing the president there, and then the story,
the story was was out. Uh, and that's how I

(36:38):
that's how I took it as well. Now they did
respond to somebody who reached out to them, and this
is what because I just I don't understand it. And
if this was maybe if this was pre Donald Trump
and it said, George, do you know what I'm saying? Like,
even then I would have a hard time attaching to it.

(36:58):
But we've seen so many people and so many situations
that should have nothing to do with politics who have
just their TDS takes over and and and here you are,
here you are, and now we're we're having this discussion.
And also the it's the whole, it's the the the
indoctrinating kids thing, this this need to get into get

(37:22):
to the kids as soon as possible. Let's stick books
in their hands about you know, sexuality when they're three.
Let's uh, let's make sure we inject it into all
the curriculum. Let's do so this is why people are
are much more open minded to think it. Clearly, it
sounds like that again. And and the craziest thing is,

(37:43):
if you had to just put a bead on what
is probably was probably the largest contributor other than just
the sheer and competence of Joe Biden and the common
and then the switch to Kamala. But on the issues,
it's you. You start you, it's the kids. If you
weren't messing with the kids, you probably I don't know

(38:04):
that Trump would have won, but you couldn't help yourself.
And when I say messing with the kids, there's you know,
the whole hormone blockers and and and all of that,
but there's the you know, the kids in your your
daughter's volleyball team is not going to play a team
that's got a dude on it who hits three times
as hard as any of them. You mess with the kids,

(38:26):
people react. So here is what the here's what they responded, okay,
and its signed Pumpkins after Dark team. So I don't
know who wrote this, and they said, quote, we can
confirm there is absolutely no political messaging associated with Pumpkins
after Dark. The image being shared online is being misunderstood.

(38:51):
The Donald reference was simply an inside joke from one
of our designers named Donald, not a political statement. Are
is entirely focused on art, family fund and hallowing creativity,
and we do not include to promote any political content.
We appreciate you reaching out to verify, and we're working

(39:11):
to correct the misinformation being spread. Nobody's spreading misinformation. People
are reacting and interpreting something that is true. So you've
confirmed now that the writing on the glasses is true.
So if it's not political, and again I have nothing

(39:32):
either way, I don't know who the team is here.
You can't research the team. I did go on their
website to see if I could get actual names of people,
because I look, I want to be accurate on what
we're talking about. But even if it is a designer Donald,
how did you not think that would be interpreted unless

(39:53):
you are so babe in the woods, divorced from politics
that have never crossed your mind, which again, there's a
lot of people out there that are like that that
it never clicked with you. But then I would point out,
you're still in You're still in You're you're still in business.
So I don't know that I believe that, and I

(40:14):
also have to believe and is for a business like this,
where you know, you just have a mass of humans
running through there, you need people that are probably they're
probably not making a ton of money. Uh you may
be probably getting theater students if you're if you're having actors.
I don't know exactly what happens to this event, but

(40:36):
I know that the haunted the haunted house that I
went to in l A. I mentioned how crazy that was.
You know, basically they just have a bunch of actors
who just want anything so and uh so that would
be where I'd start if I needed people to Again,
I don't know how intricate their thing is, but the

(40:56):
whole it's gonna come down to whether you believe that
or you don't believe that. Ross, what do you think?
Do you believe that? Or are we just so burned
cynical nowadays that I just you just assume that they're
not being truthful.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
I mean, because of what we do, I would assume
that they're not being truthful. But maybe I mean me maybe, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
Donald is not a very common name too for a
younger person.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
I mean, if that is like a whoopsie it's a
big whoopsie, especially if you're in a business trying to
get money from people in an environment being the world
that is super political right now?

Speaker 1 (41:34):
Yeah? Yeah, And that name Donald. If somebody says Donald anywhere,
there's no give me another Donald who just pop into
your head?

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Duck, there you go, that's it.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Give me a real.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
Person, a glover is there?

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Donald? Look how hard you had to think about it.
So if somebody says Donald, everyone is going to assume
you're referring to Trump because of where we are and
the And here's the other thing. Had the Democrats not
decided that they're going to be targeting kids at every swoop,
maybe people wouldn't be interpreting it like that. But we've

(42:15):
just how many how many stories have we done over
the years where they clearly were trying to shoehorn in
something all the time. If I don't have at least
one a week, I would be really surprised. But I
there's the totality of the story as I have it.

(42:35):
The event what the glasses say, which is now being confirmed,
but their explanation of what they say it looks like
it's very popular. I saw that a lot of their
ticketing was they had very few tickets or were sold
out in some instances for their events out there. I
think it's over it wet and wild. But where yeah,

(42:57):
hold on, like because here's the thing. I don't wanna.
I don't want to hack off somebody's business, especially if
it's a cool event. But also there's the reason we're
talking about it is not because of me or anyone
else in the meata. We're talking about it because people
went there the red what's on the glasses and they
made a very logical leap. That's exactly where I would

(43:20):
have gone, and I didn't. I don't need anybody to
push me there. So if not, it's just an oversight.
I you know, maybe make a big show of getting
ready to hell the glasses. I I you know, clearly
they have some sort of effect. Maybe grab every pair
of glasses in a black sharpie. It's over the bottom corner.
I mean, just save your save yourself this because it's it.

(43:41):
This has a This has the ability to impact your business.
And uh, i've where Tiger lives, a TikTok has it
so like it's it's getting out there. Literally, I'm talking
about it on the radio right here. I don't know,
ross maybe we should reach out and see if they

(44:02):
want to have somebody. They'll probably ignore us, but maybe
maybe see if someone wants to come on the radio,
because I'll be I'd be a lot easier for me
to judge if I'm talking to somebody. Yeah, kind of
pick up on the way that's going. Because again, if
people are doing nice things in the community, and it
clearly is a whoopsie, I don't want your kids to

(44:23):
be cheated out of the possibility of going had you
wanted to go. But everybody's just so cynical these days,
so I don't know. It is seven nineteen our phone
number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Maybe somebody associated with this is listening, and if that's
the case, you want to call in. We'll verify because that,

(44:45):
you know, to make sure it's not some weird o calling.
Oh I'm the great Pumpkin from there, but and just
just tell me what's up. But I I'm sorry, I
don't know that I believe that I but maybe maybe
you do, and maybe somebody listening knows more than I
do and you want to share with us.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
I'm just thinking the only way the irony of this
whole thing. Now, is that the only way these guys
kind of save face in any way or gramatic clarification
as this, now, Donald, who is Donald? What's his name?

Speaker 1 (45:22):
His name is Donald? Who is yeah? Yeah? And here's
the here's where they might have a little trouble. I
was trying to understand the how this business works, and
I get the impression it's either franchised or it's a
tour of some sorts, which you know, a lot a
lot of these are they got five or six any
given time. They only have a short window to do
their thing because it's Halloween related. So the idea that,

(45:43):
you know, the idea that Donald even lives in Greensboro
is probably not the case if if in fact that
is you know, an actual employee, So it could be difficult.
I don't know. Thanks for the call there, KEN appreciate it.
Oh this is smart. I just saw this. Oh so,
the Los Angeles County Commissioners are getting ready to okay,
they're demolishing the Men's Central Jail in LA which hold

(46:07):
seventy five hundred inmates. Oh wow, Ross, how many inmates
do you think the new jail is going to hold?
In Los Angeles. You had to guess they're demolishing the
seventy five hundred bed jail. How many do you think
the new jail in LA will hold?

Speaker 2 (46:23):
Ten thousand? Ten thousands?

Speaker 1 (46:24):
Oh no, look.

Speaker 7 (46:27):
Nine thousand about no way, look no eight about no lower,
it's going to be lower the six six thousand buck
keep going lower, thousand above lower seven bug, it's nope.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
No lower. The answer is zero. What they're not rebuilding it?

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Play?

Speaker 1 (46:49):
What's up? Hey, k yes, sir?

Speaker 8 (46:55):
All right, Yeah, I was spelling ross regarding the pumpkins
after dark thing.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (47:01):
Uh you know, you know that if they were actually
referring to Trump because they use the word misinformation, uh
in their disclaimer, which we don't use. We use, you know,
the word lies.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Well, I don't know that things from a PR perspective,
I don't know that I would use the word lies.
I also don't know that I would have used the
word misinformation either. I would have used the word confused.
I would have used the word confusion because you don't
you don't want anyone to feel attacked if you're trying
to win back people's confidence. But that I guess that

(47:36):
would be my only thing. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 8 (47:39):
Yeah, yeah, I totally agree. But in Democrats in the
left love using the word misinformation and disinformation. That's part
of their you know, weaponry.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
But they're also I hear you serve it, they're also words.
So I mean, you know, they're not they're not. It's
not like tinks where they just made it up, you
know what I'm saying. So again I don't know, I
got yeah, yeah, that's why I'm leaving this all up
to you guys. I'm not trying to argue either way.
I'm just analyzing what you're throwing at me. And I

(48:12):
think that's that is an interesting observation because the word
struck me as probably not the right word to use
there if you're trying to rebuild trust, even if you
didn't do anything, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (48:23):
So yeah, well, I'm taking the family, I'm taking the kids.
We're all putting our MAGA hats on, and every face
of Trump paraphernalia would be find and that's how we're
gonna go.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Well if it turns if that turns into a situation, sir,
you let me know, okay, because then we'll know.

Speaker 8 (48:41):
Hey, I will man as long as you get my back.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
Yeah, all right, there you go. All right, So look
at that he's uh, he's uh, he's he's our Uh,
he's gonna go get you pig this thing. Well, we'll
see where it goes, all right. Going back to the
James o'kee thing, I am telling you you have to
see the wig ross. How distracting is the outfit that
James O'Keeffe is wearing in this video scale like twenty

(49:06):
It's completely comical.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
So it's absolutely absurd that this guy's sitting in front
of you and you're just like, yeah, I'm gonna tell
you all my deepest, darkest secrets.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Yeah, here's how the scam works. And by the way,
here is how the scam works.

Speaker 9 (49:18):
ETID twenty percent and no subcontractor.

Speaker 8 (49:24):
Share.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
They do all the.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
So we do about twenty percent of one.

Speaker 10 (49:31):
These government contractors like ATI taking advantage of their special
minority owned status, and I.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
Tell you pass throughs are a great thing as well.

Speaker 5 (49:40):
So a lot of our subcontractors bid on contracts that
were perfect in their industry, but because they weren't ntive American,
they wouldn't win it.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
So we've been in it for them.

Speaker 8 (49:53):
They became ourself.

Speaker 5 (49:54):
And it's an automatic win because your Native American status.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
Isn't that excite?

Speaker 1 (49:59):
Right, because a lot of people don't know that and
want to keep it that way.

Speaker 5 (50:04):
That's right, that's keep it a secret exactly.

Speaker 10 (50:08):
Taking the money in subcontracting much of the work out.

Speaker 11 (50:13):
I seek back, but let my percentage and they do
the work correct, they're doing the.

Speaker 10 (50:19):
Work, get the contracts, get the money. Act as a
pass through and it's the taxpayer who gets screwed over.
Is there some rules or something like people who were
telling me about if you put you have to report
if you one percent.

Speaker 5 (50:33):
Correct, right, as long as it's on paper, you'll get
the guy. And remember there's no competition because your Native Americans.
That's the best character secret it is.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
I mean, first of all, Ross, I think she should
be among the first group that we put in Happy
U Super Happy fun Land are our area for people
who are the dumbest among us. Because you can't, I can't.
You have a good theory on this. I like your
theory as to why that woman would not catch on

(51:11):
to this.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Right, You're like, how could this person not understand that
the person in front of her, it's not a real person.
And it's because they are surrounded by people that look
like lunatics all the time. Look at all the rallies,
look at the protests, look at people in dinosaur suits
with weird hair, with clothing. This is who I mean.
He blends in like for us, he doesn't blend in.
It's like, who is this comical caricature of a character

(51:33):
sitting in front of Who is this? This guy's alone,
but she is constantly surrounded by louns, so she feels
like he's normal if he was dressed like a normal person,
maybe in a nice suit, no crazy wig on his
head that looks like.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
He's wearing a pink He's wearing a pink work coat.
And I figured out what the wig looks like, Peak Donahue. Yes,
it's pak Dona Hue, so absurd. It does not look
real at all. But once again, these are the people
that she surrounds herself with. And the other thing is
there's a second part of it. Yeah, she can't bring
herself to say this guy looks weird because when she

(52:07):
says that my dad is a microaggression and then she's
judging him by the way he looks, But she should
be judging him by the way he looks, because that's
James O'Keeffe in a wig, ma'am, and it looks the
fact that James O'Keefe can still do these himself is
amazing to me. Like I understood like the first time around.

(52:28):
Remember was him in the prostitute and he's the pimp. Yeah,
and he was like twelve years old or something. And
by the way, the pimp was more convincing than the
outfit he's wearing now.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
Yeah, it was the absurd, like you know, like big
it was the huggy fee poofy. Yeah, huggy bear sort
of in the cane and the glasses and the hat
and yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
But nobody knew who he was.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Like if you were making like a B movie, you're
making a movie with your friends, so you're like, you're
gonna be the pimp. That's what they dressed him up as.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
He looks like a high school play where one of
the students has to dress up as an older person. Yeah,
you have, you have to see it's so ridiculous. And
the other part where she she should do extra analysis
and not worry about microaggressing is when you're explaining a
giant one hundred million dollar scam, right, if you're gonna

(53:18):
explain it's I If I'm explaining my one hundred million
dollar scam, that could put me in federal prison for
you know forever, I'm I'm I'm gonna be willing to microaggress.
Do you know what I'm saying? That's kind of what
you gotta do. Is that a cop? Is that a
what what's going on here? If you want to stay

(53:40):
in business? Is what I'm saying. Well, already the Trump
administration's picked up on this, like, yeah, we're not doing this,
and this is this is why. Look, will the government
have to contract people? Of course in companies, Sure it's
gonna happen. I don't necessarily have an objection. There's things,
you know, like, there's things that have to happen or

(54:01):
they're going to contract. You're working on federal highways, you're
going to contract people build roads. You're going to contract
for development of science and weapon technology from a military perspective.
But when you create these lanes where there's not even
competition for it, where as long as you're as long

(54:22):
as you're fifty one percent minority, will go ahead and
do this thing. Now you create avenues for fraud now
you because the oversight is gone, So people are going
to get it up in there and they're going to
do these things, just like what you saw with COVID.
How predictable was it from the moment they talked about

(54:44):
the PPP and this stuff. We were on the show
pointing out that this was going to get abused, and
and by the way, there were even Democrats who admitted
that there probably was going to be abuse, but it
was to it. It's too dire a need and so
we're not gonna be able to take the same paths.
These things are set up, they're immediately abused. And this

(55:06):
is also why doing things based on immutable characteristics by
the government, which is which is my understanding, this shouldn't
is not legal. Right if from a governmental discrimination standpoint,
I don't know how it's legal. People are gonna find
a way. They always do. There's a lot of people

(55:26):
have no scruples, are entitled. I saw probably ten videos yesterday,
all separate. I'm gonna play you one of them because
I tend to find the one with the least amount
of f bombs in it. Of people making videos openly
saying that if their food stamps or EBT gets cut
that they're gonna just go steal it? What do you

(55:48):
want us to do? And the absolute entitlement of these
videos is crazy. And I'll play this one. Lady's it's
just what we got no other way to get food? Really,
I found a way ross. Have you found a way
to get food for your family that doesn't involve stealing?
You able to? You know? I have?

Speaker 2 (56:09):
Yeah for years?

Speaker 1 (56:10):
Oh okay, all right, so everybody's nobody's starving to death
over at to hayes manor huh. And you're also not
committing petty theft. That's amazing. Yeah, we'll play that coming
out first race stagic from the Weather Channel. So my
two Cowboys fans buddies that I go watch football with,

(56:31):
they're all they're all back in now and there. This
is your year. So the people are delusional.

Speaker 9 (56:41):
H And I could read one of the texts from
my cousin from my other cousin because.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
We're all fans.

Speaker 9 (56:47):
Yeah, and my one cousin's like the most positive Dallas
Cowboy fan in the world. Hey yeah, blah blah blah,
same same kind of idea. And my other cousin, who's
not so optimistic like me, says, don't get sucked in,
and I will tell your friend then, oh, yeah, don't.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Care all that I'm not. Oh, they are right. And
these are the guys preseason who are also like you.
But now one game where you score, you know, all
those points like, oh it's our year.

Speaker 9 (57:13):
Okay, well, cous scoring thirty forty points when you when
you're gonna give up forty plus a get with a
three quarterback, remember you lost, They lost their starting quarterback
early in that game, and you have Mariota come in. Yeah,
that's funnier than us being back.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
Tried to hit him the one with some facts because
he was texting me, and I'm like, all those were
just bouncing off them, right, And I'm like, you know
what if it makes you happy, I just know how
angry he's going to be eventually.

Speaker 9 (57:40):
Right, But he right, And you know they're really never
gonna to me. It's not even about getting there. It's
get to the NFC championship and I'll be at least
a little. And I just know that's not gonna happen, so.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Well, all right, Well, and then if it does happen,
then you can be like I was wrong, and I'm happy.

Speaker 9 (58:00):
Exactly that is the way, exactly.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
This is the way, all right? What is the weather way?
What we weather ways?

Speaker 2 (58:08):
Not a tough one.

Speaker 9 (58:09):
Coolest mornings yet this fall still to come for tomorrow
morning and again Friday morning, which.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Actually maybe a couple degrees school.

Speaker 9 (58:16):
It could be a little patchy frost in the hills
to the west, but beautiful weather, sunshine, a little breeze today,
upper sixties, low seventies, same thing tomorrow we'll start off
in the low mid forties. Wrap it upload of upper sixties,
low seventies, and everybody probably stays in the sixties. Got
a little push of cooler air coming in Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, but again mostly sunny. So really in a

(58:37):
pattern here. We're have plenty more dry than we do wet.
Don't see rain and forecast maybe till the middle or
end of next week. But there are some signs that
maybe we get in some colder air in here sometime
in the first week in November. So certainly something that
maybe we got to look forward to. Maybe not, you
don't want the cold air. I myself was very happy
that I could finally turn the AC off.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Yeah, man, that's that's I like the little cool as
long as it's cool overnight, right right in the evenings
or whatever, because then then it's goood like fire weather. Yes, yes,
that's the key. All Right, all right, thank you, sir,
appreciate it. Okay, all right, coming up, I'm gonna play
this audio from this woman who has a plan if
for EBT gets cut, it's it's probably gonna make you

(59:23):
angry or really excited at the possibility. For some of you,
I'll explain next. You spend any time on social media,
probably encountered one of these videos. I went down a
rabbit hole yesterday because you know, ultimately I don't trust
most you know, made content, right, because there's a lot

(59:43):
of trolls out there. Some people are very good at it.
That being said, there is no way after watching the
dozen or so that I watched yesterday that some of
these are not absolutely true. And these are people that
are are freaking out because they receive letters that they're
EBT is going to be cut under you know, the

(01:00:04):
way that the program has was adjusted under the Big
Beautiful Bill and some other changes they're making, and you know,
let's face it, there's there's clearly people who have the
mindset that the government's here to help and they're a
person and they're going to take every advantage of it,
and anyone who's not taking advantage of it as a
dummy like that. That is an attitude that exists out there.

(01:00:27):
But now they're realizing with the because remember they charge.
Remember when they were freaking out because they change what
you what you could even buy with them, and they're
all mad that they can't buy uh, you know, the
super sugary drinks or some other stuff. Well, this is
the next version of it, except now it's getting more desperate.

(01:00:48):
Oh and the other side of this too is and
it needs to be brought up. There's also people who
want the larger amounts of the EBT benefits because there
are people who buy them for you know, sixty cents
on the dollar, eighty cents on the dollar, and it's
a really good way where they get a bunch of money,
actual cash, so they can use it to buy other stuff.

(01:01:08):
There's within every program there's gonna be abuse. There's also
gonna be people who absolutely are why the program is there. Right,
They lost a job, something horrible happened, They got three kids,
and their husband just got killed in a car crash
or the wife did, and they just need a little
help while they're figuring things out. The problem is they

(01:01:29):
they all on these videos, they all approached it from
the same direction. And let's just go ahead and listen
to this lady threatening this.

Speaker 5 (01:01:37):
People are gonna start. I'm telling you, this is gonna
be a thing. People are gonna start. Instead of stealing
groceries from the stores, they're gonna start watching people go
to their cars and they're gonna take all of their groceries.
And you know what, the store are gonna do. Not
our problem, not our business. It's outside the store. They

(01:02:01):
didn't do it in the store. It's not our property.
Car nine one one co authorities make a report. They
gonna leave your ass for dead. And people are really
gonna be stealing people carts of groceries out of the
grocery parking lot. I'm telling you it seemed like it's

(01:02:23):
headed that way. Now, what other choices people are? People
gonna have to find food to eat because people about
to be out here struggling, They about to be out
here bad, bad, So do you really think they're gonna
look at you with all these groceries packing it in

(01:02:44):
your car, you know, about to go home and see
your family from the you know, hard iron money that
you made from working your job that afforded you the
affordability to buy those groceries. They ain't gonna care. They
gonna snatch them bags about your hand to be like.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
I wish you would well. And then what's ironic for
this woman is if you look at the response to
her videos and the others, it's there's two camps. There.
There's the uh, these people are criminals, uh, and I'm
so angry. And then the other one is what she
just said about half the responses are people are like, oh, man,

(01:03:21):
I hope they try that to me. I was gonna
talk a little about this the other day because there
was one of the Democrats who's running is a former marine,
retired marine whatever. That's at the point of this story.
He is a He is also a absolute far left lunatic,
right he's he's he was he was with AOC and

(01:03:45):
Bernie when they were when they were in Maine. He's
he gave a big speech about how much Israel sucks, free,
free Palestine, all that, and then that'll be important here.
And they had he had a little scandal, little scandal
thing come out, Uh, basically cleaves. They found some postings
on the internet that were not very flattering. So that

(01:04:08):
was the initial story. But then the thing took a
crazy twist yesterday and he actually was he sat down
for an interview and he addressed both things or I'm
gonna play audio from one, but I'll explain the other
to you. Well, let me explain the first one to you.
So they found a reddit. He was in some subreddit
and uh, and it was but it was basically a

(01:04:30):
subreddit where service workers just go and you know, crap
post and talk about horrible customers and all this stuff.
And he he posted the classic why don't black people tip?
And so the interview actually brought that up. And the
way that he explains it is that he wasn't trying
to perpetuate a stereotype. He was looking for an honest

(01:04:54):
answer because he wanted to culturally understand why that was.
And then but what what But then he should have
stopped there because nobody's believing that anyway. But then he said,
and then I followed it up with heartfelt conversations with
two of my black coworkers. He was a bartender at
the time, and uh, they explained to me culturally why

(01:05:16):
black people don't tip, and I'm like, I'm sorry, what
so you don't want to perpetuate a stereotype? And then
you just said you confirmed it and you now culturally
understand why black people don't tip. That's what a weird answer? Also,
what a weird culture? Is there a cultural thing there?

(01:05:37):
I whatever? He didn't he didn't he didn't fill in
the rest. But that's not why we're here. No, no, no,
And if it was just that, I probably wouldn't be
talking about it because it's a senate race in Maine.
I don't care. I care a little, but not that much.
Then some video emerged of him at some sort of
party and he's not wearing a shurge, got like board

(01:06:00):
shorts on whatever out of his pool party or what,
it doesn't matter, and he has a really big chest tattoo.
Before I tell you what is ross? Have you ever
how many and you can round it to how many
accidental Nazi tattoos do you have?

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
You know, it's never happened nation white supremacist, not just
whoopsie right, never happened. That's never happened to you, and
I've had some crazy nights in the past. You know,
I never once woke up and was like, oh, what
did I do? What is got to get rid of that?

Speaker 1 (01:06:38):
Because that happened to this dude here he is explaining
how it happened. Then we'll then we'll analyze this, okay.

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
And we went ashore and split Croatia.

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
He is talking about his time in the marine, so
he's on shore leave. Okay, just a little context there.

Speaker 4 (01:06:57):
And we went ashore and split Croatia, myself and a
few of the other machine gun squad leaders. Uh, and
we got very inebriated, and we did what marines on
liberty do, and we decided to go get a tattoo.
And we went to a tattoo parlor and split Croatia,
and we chose a terrifying looking skull and crossbones off

(01:07:17):
the wall because we were Marines, and you know, skulls
and crossbones are pretty standard military military thing. And we
got those tattoos, and then we all moved on with
our lives. And I've also just lived my entire life
like a regular person with the skull and crossbones on
their chest, which by that I mean taking my shirt

(01:07:40):
off performing Miley Cyrus songs in front of my extended
family and to my sister in law and just taking
my shirt off at the beach. H. I mean I
went to I went to college, I went to the gym.
I did all the things. And at no point in
this entire experience of my life did anybody ever once say, hey,

(01:08:03):
you're a Nazi. Uh. It never came up.

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
Okay, all right, there's a lot to a lot to
unpack here.

Speaker 4 (01:08:10):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:08:10):
First and foremost, I want to be I want to
I want to be abundantly clear. We're not talking about
something where if you want to play political gotcha, you go, oh,
well clear, you know, like, but Donald Trump had an
eagle that he used in in a in uh, in
a graphic because you know, they we had to pretend
that we don't use eagles to symbolize anything in America,

(01:08:32):
and then they attacked him even though it was clearly
not the eagle from the from the nazis this guy,
this is not a It kind of looks like it
is the exact to the totenkov the s s uh
skull and crossbows. It's it's it's none, this is none

(01:08:52):
of that appears to resemble. It is. The idea that
it would happen in Croatia is not that un like
I believe that they would tattoo that. There's a lot
of in that part of the world, especially you see
when you get over towards like Ukraine and whatnot, Like
there's lots of Nazi symbolism that has been has been
embraced over there. So I'm not surprised by that. That

(01:09:13):
being said, the idea that you didn't you this is
twenty years he's in his forties now, and it's like
nobody said anything to you at the beach. Do you
think it's because they didn't see it, or do you
think it's because you look like a giant marine covered
in tattoos? You know, a little yoked, Maybe not as
much now, but like this is a this is an

(01:09:34):
intimidating kind of looking guy for a lot of people,
and maybe they just went, I'm not gonna go tell
the guy he's a Nazi who who is twice my size? Right?

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
This isn't some rando thing like you said. This is
like the symbol that the s S members had on
their hats, on their hats. They haven't on their belts too. Yeah, somebody,
I said, somebody on X make the comment. They were like,
you know, here's this dude watching in Glorious Bastards quote, hmm,
all these Nazis have my tattoo in their hat. It's weird, right, Yeah.
And there's a screenshot of like Hans Landa from in

(01:10:07):
Glorious Bastards.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
With it on his hat.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
So, because here's the thing. I maybe maybe you're a
twenty year old marine, right, you just are You're just
happy that you get a you know, I get to
go into Croatia and get ripped and maybe hook up
with some Croatian girl, and then you get you drunkenly
get a tattoo. And look, members of the military going
and getting tattoos. I think you're almost required to, aren't

(01:10:33):
you after not like that's the thing. I got it
one hundred percent, But to go twenty years and have
it never dawn upon you, I don't know that I
believe you. And again we're not talking about something where
I have to, you know, have somebody explain it to
me for ten minutes. Why they think it's the thing.
It's the thing, It's one hundred percent exactly the thing.

(01:10:59):
This isn't the ruins of Seapeck.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Okay, it's like getting like a swastika tattoo into me,
Like I thought it was like Hindu. I thought it
was like an Indian thing, Buddhist. I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (01:11:10):
Yeah, it never came up, not in twenty years. And
then you couple it with some pretty aggressive language like
he hey, he's not a fan of Israel. He's he's
either committing genocide, right, and you know the people he
palles around with, like the aocs and the elon Omars
who have been part of rallies he's been at, Like,

(01:11:30):
because that's the thing did when you took her shirt off?
Did Omar smile? Dude?

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
That is it?

Speaker 3 (01:11:37):
Though?

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
It's like, how come no one ever mentioned it? Because
maybe people saw it and they were like, I'm staying
away from that crazy Nazi bastard.

Speaker 1 (01:11:42):
Right, you hook up with a Jewish girl and then
she wouldn't return your calls? I mean, were there any
signs out there at any point? And to your point
or the I guess the the tweets point, why are they?
Why does everyone have my tattoo on their their clothing?
Every time I see Nazis portrayed like you. I just
I don't believe him, and uh before Ross before the

(01:12:07):
show basically, and I agree with you after all of
the intentional misinterpret like the seapack runs and all that,
where you gotta you gotta get the schematics out with
the red string and tie everything together like that meme
this is you don't have to do that here. All
you have to do is look at the thing right

(01:12:29):
and then look over at the other thing. Well, those
are the same thing.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
Yeah, Well, let's give him the absolute benefit of the doubt.
He was a drunk marine, he got a tattoo, He
went twenty years, he never knew, he never even thought
about it, and then he just found out. I'm sorry,
but we're living in a world in a political climate
where you're saying whoopsie my you know, my bad, I'm sorry.
Isn't gonna fly. Nope, doesn't work anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
And no, even if you don't say whoopsie, my bad,
even if you go that's uh, that's not even the
same thing, like with the with the with the ruins
or with the eagle thing with the with the little
trump thing, like any honest person look at it, go
those are two different things, and even then he's you know,
he's still they still had ruins at Seapack, even though

(01:13:13):
you have to be the most out of your mind
political person to honestly believe that whenn't like, if you
like figured it out, wouldn't you try to at some
point in the last twenty years fix it? Like there's
some like comedic skit I've seen a long time ago,
and you know, it's like a meme now that it's
like you've seen it where like, you know, a guy
wakes up with a swastika and he's like, oh, what
am I gonna do? And he's like he goes to

(01:13:34):
the guy to fix and they're like, I can turn
it into a happy dancing man where the hands are up.

Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
Here and the other leg is out here. You you
would do something about it, like get rid of this
thing off my chest. I made a horrific accident, right mistake.

Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
There's a guy. There's a guy who's uh at tapped.
I don't know what his name. I've seen his videos though.
This is what he does. It's uh he he worked
hit people who have you know, and mostly he's dealing
with people who maybe went to prison and got some
of those tattoos and now they realize, Hey, this is
gonna be really bad for me. I'm out of prison,

(01:14:06):
and I don't believe that anymore. I only got him
so I, you know, had had people to power around
and put whatever the reason. And he donates his time
and then he makes videos, which is how he you know,
gets paid for it. He donates his time, but he
he is a master at making the coolest tattoos out
of some of the most horrible tattoos. And it's really

(01:14:27):
it's really cool. I think he's on TikTok, but I've
seen him on Twitter because people repost him. And so
you see these tattoo, you know, these like arian Nation tattoos,
and then he turns them into exactly like what she said.

Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
Yeah, I think it was the kids in the Hall skit.
I was the kids in the law where he wakes up.
He's like, oh, what what happened, and they're like, we'll
put a head on here and we'll turn this into it.
Now it's a happy dancing man, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
And even if you thought, even if you said, I'll
just not you know, I'm not running around without my
shirt off because it's the videos from a while ago.
I'll just keep it, you know, not do it. Once
you made the decision to run for Senate, I think
you should address it right because now now, even if
you just were going to choose to ignore it, he's

(01:15:08):
probably going to come out, which it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
Did, dude, but he's even lost Keith Olberman. Even Keith
Olberman has come out and said you need to drop out.
This isn't going to work.

Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
Well, no, but you have to understand. So what some
of the Democrats are keyed up because they haven't primaried yet.
And there's another dude. It's him and another dude, and
the other dude is more Keith Oberman's flavor. I guess
probably I get the impression of the other guy's even crazier.
But and I think the other guy's actually leading by
a little bit if I remember what I was looking at.

(01:15:38):
But yeah, man, that is the thing. You have the thing,
and and he had it. He got it in two
thousand and seven, so it hasn't been quite twenty years.
But yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:15:53):
What I just another post on Twitter where it's somebody
fixing a swastika and it just says it's going to
be amaze like he's gonna turn into a maze.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, I wish I'll se if I could find
one of the tattoo guys videos. They're very cool. He's
a very good artist too. So I said that somebody
that reminded me yesterday of somebody was talking about how
he could turn it into a nover girts, right, that
old meme tattoo. Yeah yeah, this is that is bad,

(01:16:25):
but hey, you know what, at least it provided content
for us, and that truly is the most important thing
in my little world here, all right? Eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four, Well, let me
do this. We'll go ahead and take a break. When

(01:16:46):
we come back, I gotta talk about this predator thing,
just because that's crazy. And then what happened on an
American Airlines flight. I have some questions because I fly
American Airlines and I there's something that I remember from
every time I'm on an American Airlines plane, and I'm
sure it's other planes as well, but that nobody's bringing

(01:17:09):
up in this story. And I don't know why we'll
get into that coming up? Hang on a a smuggling operation,
excuse me? Into the twenty three hundred inmate Men's Correctional
Complex there for the county. You know, this is this
is the problem in prisons, man, This is you know
it's in there's you know, there's the smuggling, the you

(01:17:32):
know visits, right, so you got to be on the
lookout for that. You got drones, people smuggling with drones.
But the one that really really really is problematic is
when the officers or the staff is smuggling. And that's
what it appears to be here. Uh, but it's not
what you think. It's not drugs, it's not cell phones,

(01:17:54):
it's not weapons. No, no, no. Authorities say they busted
a a new new Ish I guess he's been working
there a year, a correctional officer who was smuggling chicken
wings and I don't know if it was just wings,
but that's what he got busted for. Basically, if inmates
wanted access to food that they couldn't get, this guy

(01:18:15):
would order them and like you know, he'd get orders
delivered to him while he's working, and then he would
have the inmates they're either their families or he'd allow
his device to be used to cash app or venmo
him money ross. What do you think a dozen Mango
hob and naro wingstop wings go for at wingstopped? What

(01:18:36):
do they cost over wingstop? First? What are they view there?

Speaker 9 (01:18:41):
Know?

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
Like a dozen? Now, I mean I don't know, maybe
like twenty bucks, twenty five bucks? How much you think
they are in prison? Oh? Man? Uh forty forty five bucks,
fifty bucks.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
Some of you, some of you kids today would never
will never experience the joy of being on a commercial
flight where you can see out the wind the front window. Yeah,
that used to be a thing. Not on the big
planes necessarily, but sometimes or you know, you could go
up and talk to the pilots or the flight like
the god or those days. I dude, I told you.

(01:19:14):
One of my favorite things ever is whenever I'd get
a chance to fly back to Wyoming. Because you fly
into Sheridan, Wyoming, and when you're making the approach at
the Sheridan Airport, you you you do. You fly right
at the mountains because it's literally right at the base
of the mountain and I'm sure that there's wind, there's

(01:19:36):
a wind issue or whatever how they have to make
this approach. I don't know. I'm not a pilot, but
you fly right at the mountains, and then you make
this big right turn or left turn depending on which
direction you're gonna land on that runway, you know, based
on you know, what the wind's doing. And those little
the little planes like they're prop planes that you're flying
in there, you could see right out the front and

(01:19:59):
so all you see his mountains coming at you. Now
they're a long ways away, but it's still visually jarring
if you don't know what's up. And so I used
to be like I used to love turning whoever's around me, going,
are we flying right at the mountain?

Speaker 5 (01:20:15):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
Because I'm an a hole? Okay, whatever, But those days
are gone. So now you got the cockpit doors, you
got procedures. They've been updated again after what happened or
that guy suicide of that whole plane over in Europe
right where. Now you've got to have somebody who's going
to be two people in the cockpit. So that's why
the flight attendant will disappear if a pilot comes out
and they roll the drink cart to barricade, you know

(01:20:35):
the drill, all right. So a flight from Omaha to
La American Airlines Flight sixty four sixty nine had to
make an abrupt return to Omaha after the pilots started
panicking because they said they heard mystery banging on the door.
So it's not quite the old Twilight Zone where the
thing's on the wing. It's coming from inside the plane

(01:20:56):
and then the inner They get on the intercom and
they couldn't. So here's what happened. The intercom broke that
they used to talk to each other, some sort of
electrical thing, and what they heard was flight attendants who
had tried to, you know, call the pilot, who were
knocking on the door to get the pilot's attention because

(01:21:17):
the intercom wasn't working, and the pilots thought somebody who
was trying to hijack the plane, so they just flew
back to Omaha, never opened the door, and then figured
out what was up? Is that procedure? Because that sounds dumb.
And here's why those doors have peepoles on them, right,
Why do you have a peep pole if you don't

(01:21:39):
use the damn thing? If the intercom's not working, the
flight attendant, through hand signals or just writing something could
say that, or is it because the intercom's broken? Maybe
somebody in aviation can tell me. Because the intercom's non functional.
You are required to assume that it may be because
the plane is being hijacked. I don't know, but it's

(01:22:01):
just it's such a weird story. And all I could
think of what I was seeing the story was don't
have a people? What's going on? Man? Wouldn't you just
go to the people? But maybe they're not allowed to
because that's what the terrorists would do. They would cut
the intercolm and then put a flight attendant there so
it looks safe and and I guess right, and that
maybe safety procedure. But you had to turn a whole

(01:22:23):
plane around inconvenience a whole planeload of people because you know,
you had a minor technical issue. Was it was it
on the Amazon cloud?

Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
Do we know?

Speaker 1 (01:22:33):
I don't know when did it happen? What was on Monday?
Monday morning? Might have been Amazon? I don't know. We
will see hey, man, And to keep everybody safe, I
just I was just reading this crazy story. We got
a couple of create. I don't know if I'm gonna
get to both these today. I kind of want too, though.
We got talk. We've got to talk about the things

(01:22:55):
I told you. We're gonna talk about first I saw
on I saw this ranking on Rotten to me, right,
so that you know they put in their own they
produce their own content too, And I absolutely lost my
crap because I'm gonna assume that somebody's very young who's
doing this. And so they put out the Predator. They
ranked all of the predator movies, and you know there's

(01:23:18):
quite a few predator movies, yeah, the Predator, Predators, Predator, Prey, Predator,
Killer of Killers. I haven't seen that one. Ross. Have
you seen the one that just came out this year?
It's on Disney Plus. I don't have Disney Plus. Yeah,
I don't know if I'm going it's on Hulu maybe,
I don't know. You don't know that one. I don't
know if I'm gonna check it out. Oh okay, I'm sorry,

(01:23:38):
I like checked out on the on the franchise. Now, okay,
So they ranked all the movies and the original Arnold
Schwarzenegger Predator is what though they say it is only
the third best Predator.

Speaker 2 (01:23:51):
Yeah, okay, So whoever wrote this is like twelve and
they have no idea what they're talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:23:55):
And then Danny Glover is the fourth, and then the
predator him. I kind of remember that. But according to
this list, the Prey, the movie Prey, which if you remember,
was set with like it's a Native American girl who
then defeats a predator. And I didn't think it was
a bad movie. Ross ye, I think you you were

(01:24:17):
not a fan of this concept or something.

Speaker 2 (01:24:19):
I mean, I thought it was just ridiculous. Yeah, you know,
she's gonna, well, I'm super smart and I'm just gonna
take down the predator with it's so dumb.

Speaker 1 (01:24:26):
It's so she's Native American skills man back in the day,
so and so.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
Yeah, I didn't have the wheel, but I'm gonna take
down the predator. Okay, all right, she wasn't driving a car.
She's murdering a predator. Come on, manh yeah, don't complain.
The First Predator is a perfect action movie. It is.

Speaker 1 (01:24:47):
It is, it is, And even the little sub character
is like Ventura's character, the dude that relieved stress in
the jungle by dry shaving his face. Yeah, like black dude,
yeah yeah, yeah, just you just see him and then
he cut when he cuts himself, Like, is there's something up.

Speaker 2 (01:25:07):
The badass Indian dude. I mean, it's all amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:25:10):
The entire war around of who was gonna be the Predators.

Speaker 2 (01:25:15):
And yeah, Jean Claude van Dam, right.

Speaker 1 (01:25:17):
But then he's like, wait, you can't see my face.

Speaker 2 (01:25:19):
No, he was in the outfit, but he was doing
all these dumb kung fu moves and they're like, you
don't look like the Predator. You look like Jean Claude
van Dam in a Predator Outfit. You wouldn't have the
other movies if it wasn't for that movie.

Speaker 1 (01:25:30):
Third Best and I guess the new one is also
set in the past where it's like a Viking or
something or they they have like three different scenarios where
the predators hunting like the the most badass people of
the of the of the you know the past, right,
you go find a Viking a night or something, right,

(01:25:50):
because you know the predators. Whole thing is he wants
to hunt. He's he's hunting, so in the same way
that you go hunting for a deer with big antlers.
He wants to go against the best. What was the
what was the one where they're on the other planet.
I think that's the Predator or.

Speaker 2 (01:26:07):
There was one where they put them all on right,
and it was hunting a group of them and they
all turned out to be like horrible people, right, yeah, yeah,
And there's like a twist at the end with the
guy that survived, okay, or maybe he was the second one,
like the last, the second last to die or whatever
it was. Remember but the Predator, the original Predator with Swartzenegger.

Speaker 1 (01:26:29):
How dare you? How dare you? Man? I'll take that.
The second one was cheesy, like what if we did
this in La Okay? Fine, whatever it was? What it was?
Did you ross? Did you see it in the other movie?
They're making a sequel of No I want to know
you probably.

Speaker 2 (01:26:49):
Do not want to know. Okay, it will. I did
see that and it's disgusting.

Speaker 1 (01:26:57):
You didn't mind the remake though, did you the.

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
Recent one or the the Johnny depp one?

Speaker 1 (01:27:02):
Because Johnny depp one.

Speaker 2 (01:27:03):
Yeah it was okay. You had its funny moments, but
you're not gonna top Gene Wilder, not a chance.

Speaker 1 (01:27:08):
And now you're going to write your own set. Where
where else is there to go? This new one says
now Charlie gonna be him and have to get a
new kid.

Speaker 2 (01:27:15):
Did you check out the one?

Speaker 1 (01:27:18):
No? I did not.

Speaker 2 (01:27:20):
That's Adam Sandler saying his name, by the way.

Speaker 1 (01:27:22):
SHAMAI that's where he's the young Wonka, right. Yeah, when
he goes I remember the concept. I never saw it. So, however,
you say, no original ideas? Man, how do you think
they're gonna screw this one up? Probably he gets he
learns that junk food's no good, So now he's what
like a vegan vegetable producer or something. I don't know.
They'll find a way. They always do, h is mister

(01:27:44):
stagic there not yet? Okay?

Speaker 9 (01:27:46):
All right, yeah, yeah, just cute of music, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:27:52):
We're just angry because some of these rotten tomatoes. One
of their writers made a list ranking the best Predator
movies and they put the original Predators.

Speaker 9 (01:28:00):
Yeah whatever, that's like putting Empire strikes back.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
Second.

Speaker 1 (01:28:07):
I just don't. Well, they're trying to make it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:09):
Because they're super young and they're stupid. They're like, yeah, well,
put Forest Awakens before a new Hope, Like, what are
you talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:28:15):
Right?

Speaker 9 (01:28:16):
Exactly exactly the first So they put the original Predator,
the one with Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:28:25):
And and the whole thing. Third, and then they put
the two new ones ahead of it. That's why. Of
course he's young. Yeah, yeah, it's got to be right.
I don't know, right, I mean, what do they know? Nothing? Oh,
clearly get me to talk about it on the radio.
So maybe that was the point. Yeah, that's probably though, Instead,
what do.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
Yeah, it looks good cool.

Speaker 1 (01:28:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (01:28:48):
Can you make a case for cold this time of year? Maybe,
but you know what, you can handle a little bit
forties next couple of mornings, and as we get into
the afternoon hours, modifying still pretty nicely, a little unseasonably cool,
but still probably upper sixties, low seventies today, probably stay
met upper sixties maybe seventy for Thursday and Friday and

(01:29:09):
the upcoming weekend. Lots of sunshine around too, so it
doesn't look all that threatening in terms of any significant precipitation,
if any at all. Got none of the forecast, maybe
till sometime next week, so I'm gonna go Chilli warnings
and pleasant afternoons.

Speaker 5 (01:29:24):
Now.

Speaker 9 (01:29:24):
The wind today may gust at times fifteen twenty miles
per hour, but not bad. And right through Tuesday of
next week we don't see any rain, just a lot
of sunshine, maybe some clouds, but other than that, we're
in good shape. Do you want to mention Melissa tropical
storm fifty mile p hour maximum sustained winds really gonna
do a number on Hispaniola, maybe the island of Cuba. Now,

(01:29:45):
this is gonna be something we may be talking about
for the next several days. If you had if a
trip planned. By the way, casey, my sister did cancel
her trip to the Dominican so that was probably a
good idea it was going. It wasn't Puntacana, it was
some other place near there. She said, there's no good
either way.

Speaker 2 (01:30:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:30:06):
A couple other places, but yeah, yeah, probably for the best.

Speaker 9 (01:30:10):
Yeah, if you have vacation plans, if you you know,
whatever it is, cruises, that's all going to be impacted.
And you know, even a hurricane expert, doctor Rick Nam
mentioned too the storm has the potential to be a
retired name storm because of not what it may bring
to the US, but maybe Jamaica, Eastern Cuba, Hispaniola, which
would include Haitian and Dominican Brubly, all the topography down there.

(01:30:32):
You could be talking about substantial amounts of rain and flooding,
catastrophic flooding and mud slides and you know things like that,
and that, you know an area of the world that
really really the infrastructure can't handle something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:30:44):
Are you saying, haities infrastructure is problematic? Yeah, I guess.

Speaker 9 (01:30:48):
I think they had a storm a couple of years
back that might have.

Speaker 1 (01:30:51):
Well war with a guy named Barbecues running around Barbs. Well,
I don't know anything. Yeah, well, I didn't really want
to get painted with that brush. I tried to keep
the meat of your life logical angle on it. No,
I understand, but it's really hard to light your opponents
on fire. There's that I mean. Yeah, right, all right,
I got a roll. Thank you much. I appreciate it,
and we'll come back with Denise PELLOGREENI next Bloomberg Update

(01:31:15):
now with Denise Pellegrini. Denise, what's happening?

Speaker 2 (01:31:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:31:18):
I want to start with Netflix because it is a
really disappointed, big time in case, in spite of all
the great programming it's had, the series of earnings beats
from Netflix has ended, you might say, shares of the
world's most valuable entertainment company there tumbling and had to
pay hundreds of millions of dollars to settle this tax
dispute with Brazil Netflix, as though without that problem it

(01:31:40):
would have beaten estimates.

Speaker 1 (01:31:42):
Could be right.

Speaker 11 (01:31:42):
It had K Pop Demon Hunters that hit Wednesday. I
don't know if you've watched these, a sequel to Happy Gilmour.
It's also getting deeper into boxing, and it's also got
more coming out the last season of Stranger Things, the
sequel to that mystery film dives out, and some new
movies as well. They also are sitting on a huge

(01:32:03):
pile of free cash flow two point sixty six billion dollars,
so that's not nothing. It says it'll use some of
that money to repurchase shares, and also there's talk that
it's expressing interest in buying some of the assets owned
by Warner Brothers, Discovery. Comcast of course also considering a
bit for all are part of WBD.

Speaker 2 (01:32:20):
So that's got.

Speaker 11 (01:32:21):
Wall Street kind of very focused this morning. Also, Mattel
and Hasbro plan to produce toys, collectibles, games, and role
play products based on Netflix popular K Pop Demon Hunter's film.
The first products from the collaboration will be released next year.
Share some hotel by the way, they're following this morning,
they could use somehow Barbie isn't selling as well lately,

(01:32:44):
and Mattel also sold fewer Fisher Price toddler toys. Of course,
I maintained that could change. If Taylor Swift and Travis
Kelsey come up with a baby, a lot of other
people are going to follow sales of toys could really
jump again, so do not count them out. Oh there's
also this kind of weird story about food scented perfumes

(01:33:05):
like vanilla, bacon, you know whatever, and apparently food scented
perfumes are proliferating as more and more people use ozempic.
There's even this TikTok video out there outlining this theory
that connects the popularity of perfumes with these smells to
the global rise of GLP ones. Some researchers say the

(01:33:25):
trend may be driven by people seeking to satisfy their
food cravings through smell instead. I don't know, if you
smell food based perfume, does that make you more hungry
that we're less hungrul.

Speaker 1 (01:33:38):
I don't like the strong smell of any perfume, even nice.

Speaker 11 (01:33:40):
Ones, I mean neither I really like. I think we
should have a perfume free workplace. I like the smell
of all this stuff. Just I have a really good
news and all this stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:33:52):
Just overwhelms me.

Speaker 11 (01:33:53):
All right, real ques smell people when they're behind me.

Speaker 1 (01:33:56):
Right, I just got one thing on the K pop
and then we'll get the market futures to. Okay, minute
and a half. Do you know what the k pop challenges? No? Okay,
so a bunch of girls. It's mostly girls are getting
scalded like bad burns. Because there's a scene where the
in that I haven't watched it, where they make a
cup of noodles and then eat it as fast as
these they can. Right, they're not letting it cool down.

(01:34:18):
They do it right after. And because it's cartoons they
can do that, and actual real children are following it.
Because I don't know our education system or logic or
what's wrong with it.

Speaker 11 (01:34:29):
Yeah, I think it's just the sort of the pressure
and the group think of social media. Not that social
media is bad, but when you get a lot of
people of one young immature age together doing something, they
get carried away.

Speaker 1 (01:34:43):
I'm always surprised, all right, Right, and then market futures
real quick.

Speaker 11 (01:34:47):
Yes, speaking of a bunch of children getting carried away,
stock futures are mixed Right now, Dow futures are up
nineteen points, S and P futures higher, bar seven, Nasdaq
futures lower. President Trump yesterday through a lit little bit
of cold water on hopes for a resolution to US
China trade. He said he thinks that the US and
China can come up with a new sort of trade arrangement.

(01:35:09):
But at the same time, he said that meeting that
with China's president she might not happen at all, So
a little bit of uncertainty today. Gold continuing to plunge.
That means investors are maybe feeling a little more comfortable
with things.

Speaker 1 (01:35:24):
So casey, okay, all right, Denise, appreciate it, don't you know.
Let you're ramen cool. I guess for eat it. That's
the tip today. All right, we go one
